Mary was going to have the promised child. She would have him any day. Finally they came to Bethlehem. They went to many inns but all of them were full. Then they came to one and the In- nkeeper said he only had a stable. That night there were shepherds out tending the flocks. Then an angel appeared before them. They were terrified. But the angel said, "Do not be afraid. I am an angel of the Lord. I bring you great joy. The Saviour is born in Bethlehem. You will find him in a manger." So the shepherds went to Bethlehem. Some wisemen were following a star and, it led them to Bethlehem. The shepherds and wise men gave gifts of gold and silver. Paul Ridder Grade 4 CDCS Danny's dream It was Christmas Eve in a small town out- side of Fun Land, Ontario. Danny's mother had just tucked him into bed. Once Danny's mother was positive Danny was asleep, she called Santa's wife and ask- ed her to ask Santa if he would visit Danny on Christmas Day. Danny had just slipped into a deep dreamy sleep. He found himself on a hayride with all of his friends. Danny had stretched out in the soft hay gazing at all of the twinkling stars. He even spotted a shooting star. Then suddenly Santa flew overhead in his sleigh which was filled with lots of presents for all of the kids. By the time he got over his excitement they were rolling by his house. He leaped off the fun filled wagon and darted into his house. After being inside for awhile his mother suggested that he should put some milk and cookies out for Santa. Danny's dream was becoming more ex- citing by the second. Danny was very anxious to see what Santa had brought him, so he went out and stared at all of the pretty boxes under the twinkling tree. Danny had almost forgotten about the cookies and milk he had left for Santa the night before. By the plate layed a small short note from Santa. It read, Dear Danny, Thank you for the delicious cookies that you left me. Rudolph enjoyed them, too. Thanks Again Santa Claus P.S. I know you saw me last night. At that moment, Danny was thinking about Santa's home and what it must be like, and how busy everyone must be. At that moment Danny heard bells ring and this time it was not a dream. It must be Santa! Danny shot out to see the jolly man. Murray Jeffrey Grade 7 Vanastra Public School Thank you, our loyal customers.

No snow would mean no more snowmen or tobogganing. Christmas would be boring without snow. Snow maybe is a disgrace for drivers, but snow can be fun sometimes. So don't try to say snow is rotten or terrible 'cause snow isn't all that bad. Without snow on Christmas Eve, what would Santa do? How would he deliver all the toys and fun to all the good little boys and girls. So every one should be happy that snow comes every year. Merry Christmas Kelly Carter Grade 6 Holmesville Public School Grade 2 Clinton Public School When Santa got lost It was a cold and stormy Christmas night when everybody was sleeping. Not a soul was heard, only a "Ho -ho -ho" and a "Ha -ha- ha." Then it became foggy and Santa could not see. He was lost in the little town of Belgrave. In the morning the wind blew the flags. It was a happy day. Calvin Schmidt, Grade 3 Blyth Public School On Christmas night it was very foggy, and Santa could not see where he was going. And his reindeer could not see where they were going. And they landed on another place. And Santa did not know where he was. And he told the reindeer to go back home. And they got home safely. Jerry Mason Grade 3 Blyth Public School One Christmas Eve Santa was getting ready for his long journey. Once he got go- ing he got lost. He was in the middle of nowhere. But then there was a little red light. "It, it, IT IS Rudolph!" yelled Santa. "I thought you could use a little bit of help." "Why, thank you, Rudolph. I thank you very much." The next day the boys and girls were cry- ing. But there was a big surprise a minute later. Santa came to all the children. Courtney Sauve Grade 3 Blyth Public School It was very cold on Christmas night. Santa was getting ready to go on his way. It was a foggy night. Santa was ready to go on a long trip, so were the reindeer. Santa got lost on the way. Lucky for Santa that Rudolph was there, or he would still be lost. Rudolph's shiny nose led the way. That night was a nice night for everybody. Santa was the happiest that he had ever been. It was December 20. I hadn't finished my Christmas shopping yet. Mom said she was going to take me shopping today but, as usual, she was busy. I thought I would go skiing instead. So I got dressed got my skies on and left. When I got outside there was no snow. I said to myself, this is weird. I went back in the house and told mom. She lsai w o to mom. The next day I went shopping all myshopping.l no snowout. Wh nthink we got home it wasaate so I went to bed. We wrapped all the presents. Today I tried my sled still no snow. I said to mom, "This is going to be Christmas without any snow, how awful." Christmas was fun after all. I got all the things I wanted. But it just wasn't the same without the snow. Sarah Sellars Grade 6 Holmesville School him. Then she flew to the ice castle. And there he was struggling to get out of the hole, when Mrs. Claus swooped down to get him out. The reindeer started picking the hard, cold ice. Soon Santa got loose. He said, "Where is my sled?" "I do not know. I'll give you a ride in my sled." "Okay, but what about the toys?" The elves will have lots of toys ready when we get back." "Oh no! Here comes the snowman," said Mrs. Claus. "Just get moving please," said Santa. As soon as they were back to the North Pole, Santa said, "How will I get the toys to all the little kids before the sun comes up?" "I will let you take, my sled." "Okay I'll do that." Then the elves put all the toys in the sled for Santa, And he did get to all the children in the world. And Santa never forgot that Christmas. Heidi Dale Grade 3 Blyth Public School It was Christmas Eve and all through the house, not a creature was stirring not even a moust. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, hoping St. Nicholas would soon be there. As Santa got on with his delivering, he met the abominable snowman. Santa knew he was in trouble. He raced and raced but the abominable snowman was too fast for Santa's reindeer. Santa got caught. He tried some of his magic, but it was no match for the giant snowman. Santa was lucky because in the ice castle where the abominable snowman lives, there was a small hole in the wall. It was just right for the smallest reindeer; his name was Rudolph. Rudolph flew as fast as he could. As soon as he got to the North Pole he told Mrs. Claus. She did not know what to do. So she just ran out to the workshop where the elves were making toys. The elves said, "Get your sled and look for him." She got her sled, but she could not find It was the night before Christmas and all were awake. They were looking for snow but there wasn't a flake. The dogs were sniffing said, the ground. Then hat I all of a sudden somebody found.' It was a piece of snow but then the wind began to blow, and that piece of snow had to go. theThen all ofmengot looking again. All of a sudden they heard a neveo hod andow it started to snow and they who went ho ho ho and made it snow. Jason Welsh Grade 6 Holmesville School It finally Julie McNichol Grade 3 Blyth Public School Once upon a time, a while before Christmas, Santa was busy with all his elves, making toys for good little girls and boys. All the reindeer were busy playing. They saw Rudolph, the red -nose reindeer. They teased, "Red nose. Red nose," all the time they saw him. Some of the reindeer said, "Look at the red nose reindeer." "Ha, ha!" they said to Rudolph. Then Cupid and Comet said, "That red nose thing will keep us up all night tonight, because tomorrow night we will be off." Then big, fuzzy, loveable Santa came and said, "Where is my list of all the good and bad little girls and boys?" "There it is." Santa said. "At least now I can get my bag packed tonight for tomorrow night." Donner and Blitzen said, "We will have to get Santa's sled. Will you guide my sled tonight?" And then Santa got all ready to go. AND OFF THEY WENT! Santa turned, but did not know it. Rudolph said to Santa, "I think we're on the wrong trail. "Ho, ho, ho" said Santa, "We're always on the right trail. But just then a present fell down, down to the ground. Kerplunk! It was down now! "What will we do now? said Donner and Blitzen. Santa said, We will have to do without it now." Vixen said, "We won't have enough presents for all of those good boys and girls." "Ho, ho, no!" said Santa. "We're lost!" "We're not in the city or country?" Where was he? Then he snapped his fingers and landed at home again. On Christmas Eve after dad went to bed, I peeked downstairs and stared in dread,' For Santa Claus (I think it was him), Was wearing red trunks and looking so grim. He winked at me and turned his head, And then he told me to go back to bed, I turned right around, Not making a sound. I gazed out the window and to my surprise, Kathy Fraser Grade 3 Blyth Public School snowed There was not any snow, but then at sunrise, The sun went away, And the snow fell hooray! I jumped into my bed to wait until morning, Because I had gotten that special warning, To go to bed As Santa had said. Susan Mahon Grade 6 Holmesville School.
